Victoria Skelton provided outstanding support during a complex legal matter involving a former partner and a leasehold agreement. She demonstrated excellent knowledge of the legal intricacies involved and handled the situation with professionalism and clarity throughout. Her advice was always clear, practical, and well-considered, which gave me confidence during what was a stressful process. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing expert legal guidance in similar matters.

Tagged solicitors Georgianna Kaya and John Rockliff Smart

I used John Smart at Richard Griffiths for the probate and sorting out of my Aunt’s Will. He was professional and helped us to sort out a tricky situation. I found him professional but not distant, easy to communicate with and available when I needed questions answered. I also used Georgianna and team for the conveyancing of the property I was selling. They were efficient and kept everything moving along nicely. Again it was always possible to get hold of someone to answer questions and report on progress. I highly recommend the firm. Everyone has been a pleasure to deal with.
